About this site

Did you realize that approximately a quarter of
the people in the U.S. embrace a delusional fantasy
that Jesus will show up any day and rescue a select
group who believe in a particular hard-line, literalistic
interpretation of the bible (a view soundly rejected
by mainstream Christians)? He’ll then purportedly
transport this select group into paradise while the
rest of us are carted off to suffer endlessly.

Absurd, right? Before you laugh, take a minute to realize
that these are the goofballs who put G.W. Bush into office,
and who currently maintain a stranglehold on the political
discussion in the U.S. Ignore them at your own peril.

Obviously, these people deserve to be satirized, and
their beliefs debunked.

Mind you, I’m a believer in freedom of religion and all that.
But freedom ought to travel hand-in-hand with responsibility.
The Rapture fanatics fail to recognize that, and consequently
use their twisted belief system to justify every variety of
recklessly harmful political policy, from abolition of
environmental protection, to the embrace of a narrow-minded
definition of ‘morality’ which focuses almost
entirely on an obsessively backwards view of sexual behavior
and completely ignores any other unethical activity (e.g.
starting a war that kills and maims hundres of thousands
of innocent people).
